September 15, 2022: Odai Trad Hisham Salah, 17, was killed by Israeli soldiers in Kafr Dan village, west of the northern West Bank city of Jenin.

Several Israeli military vehicles invaded Kafr Dan, leading to protests before the soldiers killed a teenage boy and injured three Palestinians, one seriously.

Sources at the Khalil Suleiman governmental hospital in Jenin said the soldiers shot Odai with an expanding bullet in the head, killing him instantly.

They added that soldiers also shot three Palestinian, including Ahmad Rashad, who suffered life-threatening wounds after the soldiers shot him in the back, and another who was moderately injured.

The soldiers attacked Palestinian journalists and threatened to shoot Palestine TV crew trying to enter the town to report on the ongoing invasion.

The soldiers also stormed many homes in the town and deployed their sharpshooters on their rooftops.

Dozens of Palestinians protested the invasion in several parts of the town, and hurled stones at the soldiers who fired many live rounds, rubber-coated steel bullets, gas bombs, and concussion grenades at the Palestinians and surrounding homes.

Palestine TV has reported that the Israeli attack and the intensity of the gas bombs and concussion grenades caused a fire in one home.

The town’s invasion lasted for at least four hours; the soldiers also closed and isolated the entire town and turned it into a closed military zone.
